What you need
Steps
Clear a space on the floor and sit down. Take a few calm breaths and notice where your body feels stiff before you start.
Lower into a deep squat with your feet flat if you can. Hold the bottom position and let your hips settle for a few breaths.
From the squat, place one hand on the floor and twist your torso, reaching the other arm to the sky. Alternate sides slowly.
Get on all fours and push your knees outward while shifting your hips back. Move slowly to open the hips.
Sit or kneel and rotate one leg inward and outward at the hip. Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
Lie on your front or side and lift one leg back and up to work hip extension. Keep the movement small and controlled, then swap sides.
Stand or sit and hinge forward from the hips with a flat back to stretch the hamstrings. Bend your knees if your back rounds.
Stand up and shake out your arms and legs for about 30 seconds to release tension.
Finish with a wide straddle on the floor and twist your torso toward each leg. Breathe into the stretch.
Tips and common mistakes
Start with 2 to 3 sessions a week and only build to daily once your body feels ready.
Stay in the deep squat for as long as you can, but come up before you feel pain or numbness.
Expect the positions to feel awkward for the first 2 to 3 weeks before your range improves.
Stop any movement that causes sharp pain and check with a doctor if you have an existing injury.
Questions
Do I need any equipment for this routine?
No. You only need floor space and something soft to sit on. A mat or folded towel makes the kneeling and seated positions more comfortable.
How often should I do this mobility routine?
Begin with 2 to 3 times a week and build toward doing it daily. The routine takes about 8 minutes, so it fits easily into a morning.
Can beginners do this?
Yes, it is designed for people new to mobility work. Move slowly and use a smaller range if a position feels too hard at first.
